Uses for a Spare Tom Baker Head... Two!
It continues.
John Sawyer suggests a Futurama scenario of putting said head in a glass case. Robert Dick has the sensible thought of chopping the head off a Time Lord figure and making a Time Lord Tom. Richard Salter went with the Zaphod option ('though for the third arm you may have to sacrifice a Colin Baker'). Daniel Blythe suggests also cutting off his arms and legs and recreating the cliffhanger to episode one of 'The Leisure Hive'. And Fran Dowd, who is frankly on something, says, and I quote, 'float it on top of a bowl of custard in the fridge, surrounded by maraschino cherries, and wait for the elephants'.
And this small work of genius from NicPiper...
More are always welcome, of course. Cheerio!

And there are more of photos, of which I think the second is especially chilling. This from Peacock Pete: ground control to Cyber Tom...

Two glass jars, both bubbling and lit with blue lights, one with Tom's head the other with David's hand.
Imagine the advertising "Timelord parts! Collect them all."
It's a thought...
"Tangerine... fighting *The Mandarin*... nobody got that, did they?"
D'oh! I cannot believe I didn't. ;D
I now find myself trying to think of other fruit based villains she could have encountered on her travels...
Hi, just wanted to congratulate you on the last issue of Captain Britain, taht was a beautiful comic - LovedlovedLOVED Faiza taking down Dracula, and the art was just lovely.
I gotta say the "Tangerine fighting the Mandarin" thing went totaly over my head, but what an AWESOME last issue, nonetheless!
Best,
J.
Am now v annoyed. Returned home from Satellite 2( great con) in Glasgow, only to discover that elephants have NOT been lured by custard. This is primarily because the sitters seem to have fed the custard to the cat. He is licking his chops and looking guiltily greasy. Tom's head has disappeared. John will be on cat-litter-filtering duty for a few days, just in case. I shall have to try luring elephants with butter pats now.
Whoever suggested making a Life and Loves of a She-Devil action figure (previous post) is a genius. That's still my favorite.
Presumably the battle between Tangerine and the Mandarin was a naval encounter?
Great seeing you in Dublin and getting to chat a bit about Circular Time and 100 - alongside some fannish butterflies on the part of my brother and I!
Thanks for being so warm and gracious with us - always enjoy the blog!
Make a little line-up of a model TARDIS in front of it, and a diamond logo behind it, wrap it all in plastic wrap and shine colored lights on it, and you'll have an "opening titles" sculpture. - Steve Manfred :)
Hi Paul,
Like the new look to your blog. And great that you now sport a domain name.
I also think John Sawyer's idea of Tom Bakers head in a jar is pure genius.
Tom Baker was the Doctor I grew up with and my favorite Tom Baker stories are Pyramids of Mars and City Of Death. I say bring Sutec back.
Just very recently got and saw The War Games for the first time. My Doctor Who fan experience is complete. I loved all ten parts. It was a wonderful story.
I only hope that we get to see the Time War in some way via flashback in the new series. I mean that's one of the things about the new series that's been driving me crazy since 2005.

Thanks, all. There's room for a Nectarine somewhere, I think. Sofa: and now the weather. RAB: ahem. And I await a photo. Danny: pleasure to meet you. Steve: that would actually be groovy. Ian: I doubt it! Do you really want to see the Philippino assault on Rekyavik?
Maybe Tangerine could borrow 'Clementine' the semi-sentient gun belonging to Col Tigon Liger, of the Warheads?
I picked up the last issue of CBat:MI13 and it made me very sad sat there reading it on the way home on the train. Im glad you gave Brian back Megan, and thank you for NOT bringing back the Fury, I was completely impressed by how original and well thought out both of your arcs on the book were. Im truely saddened by the fact that the book isnt continuing, it has been one of the few books that even when i was skint as hell i found the money some how to pick it up.
And Deathshead! Two pages was all he got and both were great. Ill keenly follow your work after this, tata-for-now.
I knew there must be a Clementine somewhere. And thanks, Caleb!
Hello Paul, OT question: I'm in the middle of writing a piece on Messianic themes in the 2007 season, and noticed that the punishment of immobilised immortality that the Doctor deals out to the Family of Blood is the same as that dealt out to Borusa by Rassilon in "The Five Doctors". Is the Doctor consciously modelling himself on Rassilon here (i.e. was this an intended analogy in writing)? I'd be grateful for any comments you might have.
It wasn't a conscious thing, but I did realise afterwords, and thought it was a cool thought to leave in there.
Thank you, Paul, much appreciated!
Hi Paul :D
I love the idea of Tom Baker's head in a jar, it combines my 2 fav thing, Doctor Who and Futurama :) so I made this..
